Thom Yorke signs Flea for solo band

Thom Yorke recruits Flea as unlikely bassist for solo band
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has recruited an unlikely bassist for his solo band - the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea.

Yorke is to play two live shows in Los Angeles next month and has signed up legendary bass player Flea to join him for onstage renditions for tracks from his The Eraser album and other solo efforts.

In a post on Radiohead's blog, Yorke confirmed the live band for the Orpheum Theatre shows consisted of himself, Flea, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco and Beck/REM drummer Joey Waronker.

'At the beginning of october the 4th and 5th we are going to do a couple of shows at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles,' he wrote.

'We don't really have a name and the set will not be very long cuz... well .. we haven't got that much material yet!'

Yorke added: 'But come and check it out if you are in the area. We've also got locals Lucky Dragons playing.'

Tickets for the shows are on sale now.ADNFCR-708-ID-19382804-ADNFCR
